At night.

Imperial study.

Emperor Feng listened to the report from General Manager Hu.

He picked up the tea bowl and smiled.

"This kid always comes up with new ideas for me."

"Quickly stabilize food prices and calm public anger."

"yes."

Manager Hu nodded in agreement.

Jingyang has now resumed production.

Every family has work to do and everyone has food to eat.

The court gave nothing.

Jingyang was originally the fief of King Ning.

Naturally, they are responsible.

Ning Que did a great job.

"Stabilize food prices and provide work-for-relief."

"Dredge the river and cultivate fertile fields."

"Repair official roads and promote wheat production."

“…”

"These are all good things that benefit the country and the people."

Emperor Feng looked into the distance and murmured softly.

Work-for-relief is not uncommon.

Officials in other places have also used it.

But Ning Que is fundamentally different from them.

Recruit disaster victims as workers.

But everything they do is beneficial to the people.

Dredge the river and apply compost to the fields.

Pay farmers to plow the fields and plant wheat.

It’s not for personal gain, but for public welfare!

"He really does look a bit like Uncle Wang."

"I gave him many rewards."

"He used it to provide compensation for the fallen soldiers."

“What a pity…”

Emperor Feng sighed softly.

If the old King Ning were still alive, it would save some effort.

"well!"

Manager Hu also sighed.

Emperor Feng often talked about the old Prince Ning.

To Emperor Feng, the old Prince Ning was more like a father.

He went to the military camp since he was a child.

Old Prince Ning always kept him by his side.

He carefully taught him the strategies of war and the art of governing a country.

He was able to ascend to the throne only with the support of Prince Ning.

The emperor never forgot this contribution to the emperor.

The Queen Mother didn't forget either!

She set up a special Buddhist temple in the harem.

Copy and recite Buddhist scriptures, chant sutras to pray for the dead.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing."

"Xiliang has sent an envoy."

"We will arrive in Dafeng soon."

"We want to negotiate a ceasefire."

"Leave it to the Ministry of Rites."

The emperor waved his sleeves.

Warfare is a continuation of politics.

National strength and armaments are the guarantee of diplomacy!

In the Battle of Yumen Pass, Dafeng indeed suffered heavy casualties.

The commander-in-chief, Prince Ning, died in battle.

The Ning family army was almost wiped out.

However, the main force of Xiliang was also exhausted.

This battle was a lose-lose situation, and neither side gained anything.

A few days ago, Gu Yuan took the initiative to attack.

Another heavy blow to Xiliang!

Finally, Xiliang was brought back to the negotiating table.

If the two countries can sign an alliance, it will be beneficial to both sides.

Of course, the covenant was just a piece of paper.

When it is useful it is a covenant.

Just tear it up when you don't need it.

Xiliang has done this a lot.

I'm afraid this negotiation is just a cover!

…

…

Lin Xianhong endured the discomfort and returned to the Lin Mansion.

After running around all night, she finally couldn't take it anymore.

"Xianhong, what's going on?"

Lin Jiang came over hurriedly.

There were several more scars on his face.

Lin Xianhong shook his head numbly.

There was disgust and anger in his eyes.

She knew that this was all Ning Que's revenge!

It's just to mess with the Lin family on purpose!

We must make their whole family live in unrest!

Use this method to force her to surrender!

But Ning Que had already forgotten.

Now she is no longer the incompetent Lin Xianhong.

She is a third-rank female physician appointed by the Empress Dowager herself!

Take charge of the harem’s medical affairs!

Famous throughout the world!

Want to use money to make her surrender?

impossible!

Do you really think that everyone is as greedy for money as he is?

"Ning Que is just a petty person."

"He accepted the grain and only offered fifty coins for a stone."

"I had no choice but to agree."

"Fifty coins?!"

Lin Jiang's blood pressure suddenly rose.

It's all over!

He covered his forehead and staggered.

I almost fainted.

"Father!"

"Don't let your mother know about this first."

Lin Jiang looked bitter.

Otherwise, there will probably be another disturbance.

"Ah, what should I do next?"

"Does Ning Que really want to divorce his wife?"

"It's just a show." Lin Xianhong said confidently, "In the beginning, they deliberately framed our Lin family to force me to agree to the marriage, and then they brought out the death penalty. Now they are just using my father's debt to force me to submit."

"That's true."

“But what about this account?”

"Also, there's your sister's dowry."

Lin Xianhong raised his head.

There was a sudden pain in my heart for no reason.

Although Ning Que is a villain, he has nothing to say to her.

Everything is done for her.

Of course she knew all this.

But Gu Yuan was always in her heart.

But what happens after returning to the Lin family?

Her body hasn't recovered yet.

You have to run around for the Lin family.

Worrying about money.

Lin Jiang asked her to do a lot of things.

But he didn't show any concern for her.

"Father, I will find a way."

"It's time for the Queen Mother's reward to arrive."

Lin Xianhong forced a smile.

Her biggest supporter is the Queen Mother.

He took great care of her.

Every time she went to the palace, she treated the empress dowager.

The Queen Mother would send many rewards.

She was about to go out when a carriage appeared in the distance.

Looking along the way, there is also the big flag of Prince Ning's Mansion.

"He...he...they're here again!"

Lin Jiang's face was filled with horror.
